Battle for the Vince Ryan Cup Beings in Cape Breton Feb 27th

Playoffs are set to get underway this weekend in the Cape Breton Division. In the first round, the Glace Bay Miners will take on the CB West Blackstone Knights in a best-of-five series slated to start February 27th in Port Hood.

These two teams faced each other nine times during the regular season, with the Blackstone Knights winning seven of those matchups. However, momentum may be shifting as the Miners captured the most recent meeting between the two teams, 6-1 on Feb 7th. As the playoffs begin, anything can happen, success often comes down to momentum and which team rises to the occasion. Expect a highly competitive opening-round series.

The winner of this best-of-five matchup will advance to the Vince Ryan Cup Finals to face the CB County Islanders, who finished first in the division.

Here is your head to head stats for the series followed by the schedule. Best of luck to both teams.
